Shame on you for tree-shaming!

When Reese's rolled out its peanut butter Christmas tree candy this season, people were outraged — outraged! — to discover that underneath that merry wrapping the candy was nothing but a chocolate sham.

Christmas tree-shaped candy? Yeah, right. Take a look at this cruel joke of a holiday treat — but only if you can handle witnessing the spirit of Christmas being slain right before your innocent eyes.

Honestly, if I could have but one Christmas wish this year, it would be that everyone's lives could be so carefree and #blessed that this misshapen candy really is the worst thing you have to deal with.

And deliciousness. Remember, folks — it's just chocolate, and it's what's on the inside that matters most. So put that lumpy Reese's tree candy thing in your mouth, and let the sugar buzz knock some sense into you. Mmm, tastes like every holiday.
